Cynical, ego-driven, know-it-all, moody, aging, raging, nostalgic, .....you can go on and on.
I'm not gonna ridicule you're anger over Mike's comments, or your affection for the horse (I didn't hear the whole show, but got the gist of it) but for me Mike was really talking about the owners. (rightly or wrongly) It sounded like Mike was speculating over what he saw as rich fatcats making money (one way or the other) off this animal.
Mike's cynicism and general disdain for "richies" combined with your heart-felt affection for this story seems to have hit a big nerve with you.
Mike has a big mouth, so for me it's no big deal for someone to vent like you have, if you feel the need.
BTW, I too cannot stand Sharapova's screaming; there otta be a law....
LOL..... that used to be a great comic in the papers back in the 50's.
Is it still around?
And on Michael, he just had a bad day yesterday, I know that. He can be an *ss at times, I say "so what" to that.
But most of all, I was pretty much amazed at how little he knew about the body of a horse and the nature of these injuries.
He really was not only just cynically wondering about the $$$$ angle. He also belittled the injuries. It was more than surprising how ignorant he was on the medical subject and the blood circulation in and nature of the leg of a horse.
It was surprising. I have always cherished his knowledge on things. That impression of him is a bit over now.
But, I'll give him a bit of a pass, because I know that he's a little nuts". That's one of the reasons I like(d) him so much. I like people who have emotions exposed like his do. But I also covet, even more, sweet and sensitive individuals who have a great heart for innocent animals.
Yesterday he didn't and it was not pretty....... it was embarrassing.
Oh well....... thanks for your reply.
